Show business is calling, Martha's Vineyard.

But even more important to the job is being "very organized and reliable," Reiff said, adding "knowledge of the Island is obviously very good."
The "P.A." job is an entry-level position: "kind of a grunt job on the set," Reiff acknowledged.

But assistants are vital to the production's success, she added: "They're so important."
Tasks range from running errands and getting lunch to helping with cameras and keeping passersby from wandering into the shots, Reiff said.
"The typical day is 12 hours; sometimes they’re less, sometimes they’re more," she added.
Production is slated to run from May 9 until the last week of June, but Reiff said work could start soon after the crew arrives on Island May 5.
The assistants will have their own supervisor, who's coming with the L.A. crew, Reiff said.
If the first season of the new program is successful, she added, the team will be back to film more episodes.
